Vital win that, and a very good response after Friday night. After an ok but not great first half, I thought that was one of the best second halves we’ve had all season. Normally we fade away as the game goes on, but credit to Rooney, he made the changes at half time, switched the system, and we dominated the second 45 as a result. Quality management, and we throughly deserved the win we got.

Not sure 3 at the back quite suited us first half, we were struggling to retain possession and looked a bit shaky at the back. Much more solid in the second half in a more familiar system, and we were much better on the ball as well. Movement was a lot better as well, probably helped by the introduction of Jozwiak and Waghorn, which allowed us to create more chances from open play. The way we cut through them at times, even on the counter, was better than I’ve seen in a while. Just need to find a bit more cutting edge and we’d have scored even more. Decision making in the final third needs to improve, we will become much more of an attacking threat if it does.

its weird isn't it, most of us wanted him to and were pleased he scored, but a minority would have fist pumped if he had missed. 

 

Sure they were pretty happy when he scored as we went 2-0 up. Whether or not you rate the player their support of the team would come first I'd imagine.

Disciplined, Organised & Deadly according to tonight's Sky Commentator.

And I agree, I came on here at half time and clearly was watching a different match to so many folk on here.

We controlled the game from start to finish and worked so hard for one another and the team.

Wayne Rooney is cooler than Evel Knievel and he is the Deadly Avenger he's got us working and firing at goal again.

Hail, Hail the Deadly Avenger..........time to bring on the evil Notts Forrest and time to whizz over a load of noisy red buss's.

Derby County.....The White Wall of Sound.........

Solid easy victory. Huddersfield are such a soft touch, remind me of Derby early in the season. Even though 3 at the back didn’t work and they had a couple of chances, we were comfortable all game and second half didn’t give them a sniff. Sky commentator described it as the White wall!! Very true. 
 

Thought CKR was outstanding, Knight and Shinnie back towards their best (especially Shinnie), also mentions for all the defence, all excellent, Wisdom’s passing tonight was majestic and how good was Edmundson again, great goal and really unfortunate to be taken off.  

As for Rooney. He clearly has the Midas touch at the moment. Tactically very astute, proactive with his changes not afraid to make big decisions, tonight despite winning he saw it wasn’t working and took off 2 players who were having decent games. In terms of management tonight, it doesn’t get much better. 

And now he’s found out they hate being called notts Forest he’s deliberately saying whenever he gets chance.????

Beat the dogs on Friday - we can forget about any relegation worries. To be honest, seeing Huddersfield tonight and the teams below us, we’ve got more than enough
